[Mikal]

Experts are divided over whether Apple should respond to claims that its new iPhone 6 handsets are prone to becoming bent when carried in trouser pockets.

I wonder what is causing this but whatever it is Apple aren't going to get a good image from this.

The case is made out of aluminium which can be easily deformed even on room temperature.

Android > Apple

Don't get me wrong, I like apple but their products are over-rated, over-priced and limited. Also, I hate the way they trick the whole world to buy a new one every year. In my opinion, the iPhone 4S can still go on for another 2 years (from today) before you really need an upgrade. However, the hardware, design and the simplicity is what I like about apple especially the iPhone 4S, iPhone 5 and 5S.

I see. Well if I had brought one of these phones and this happened then I'd want my money back.

Ever since the iPhone 4 Apple have not made any drastic changes to the device visually. The iPhone 6 and 6 plus are just enlarged iPhone 4s with a few more features.

Critics put it down to people keeping the phone in their pockets, well where the hell else are you supposed to keep it?

Maybe they want you to spend more money and buy a belt clip :S

Apple are trying to put Will It Blend? out of business.

This is indeed a design flaw in the iPhone 6 plus, but I am sure Apple will come up with an excuse like "Oh it was part of the design feature" or something.

Do not doubt the ability and manipulation of Apple's marketing and PR teams. People actually buy the iPhone.. shows how good their teams are.

Hey, come on now... there's nothing wrong with the iPhone 5. Solid phone.

There's nothing wrong with the Nokia 1000 either.

They are all holding it the wrong way, that's what Apple will say.
